Newbury News - you've added happy slapping is in quote marks, yet there is no mention of anyone referring it to as such. This is not anything of the sort. It's a violent assault that has been filmed. You should not use terms that make light of serious criminal offences.

Exactly, who other than the NWN Reporter deemed it to be a Happy Slapping attack !! Isn't it a shame that where ever you go these days there always seem to be louts like these individuals ( more than likely fueled by drink ), determined to spoil it for someone.
